Acrylic painting In front of the window Maksym Newskulenko

№New 8

The acrylic painting "In front of the window" portrays a young woman in a contemplative pose, her gaze directed towards the viewer, creating an intimate connection. The woman is dressed in a rich, burgundy coat with broad lapels and deep shadows that suggest the soft thickness of the fabric. The coat's dark color contrasts with her pale skin, enhancing the intensity of her gaze and the delicate features of her face. She wears a dark, reddish-brown hat that matches her coat, sitting snugly on her head and casting subtle shadows on her forehead, which add depth to her expression. Her short, dark hair peeks out from under the hat, framing her face with soft edges that soften the geometry of the hat and the coat's collar. Her hands are raised to her chin in a gesture of reflection or perhaps mild apprehension, drawing attention to her contemplative expression. The shadows on her fingers and the detailed rendering of her hands convey a sense of stillness and poise. Behind her, the background suggests the angular forms of a window, with thick, bold lines in yellow and blue intersecting with gray and black shapes. This abstract representation of a window creates a dynamic contrast to the figure's stillness and seems to frame her within an urban context, possibly hinting at a narrative beyond the canvas. The use of geometric shapes and contrasting colors in the background provides a modern and somewhat abstract feel to the painting, which complements the realistic and detailed portrayal of the woman. The interplay of the abstract and the real invites the viewer to ponder the subject's thoughts and the nature of the space she occupies.

Among the works, mostly female portraits are presented, in which a realistic image of the human body and geometric elements in the style of pop art are skillfully combined. The heroines of the works are calm, majestic, as if goddesses in modern clothes are preoccupied with the affairs of the present and are full of thoughts about the eternal. Each of them has its own story and is imbued with the author's personal love for the female image. The artist conveys the feeling of admiration, respect and exaltation of women as the source of life.
